How do you stop "trying"?

Question

This gets me every time! My hubby and I have been ttc and people keep telling us to stop trying and it will happen- I know they don't literally mean stop trying, but more stop WORRYING; and stop desiring SO much. I can't help it though, I want a baby! So how don't just turn off my "I want a baby" switch? I've tried picking up different hobbies, God knows we work like crazy. We are even closing in our first house- you would think the exfiebt of THAT would overwhelm me and distract me a little but it doesn't. Have any of you ladies struggled with just letting go and letting it happen "when it happens" ? What Helped?

Answer

I haven't gotten pregnant yet but I have only been trying for 1 month last month and my husband wasn't here for the ovulation.. What my mom told me is that the body will naturally know when it's time to conceive and iys like randomly turned on something as simple as a random mood swing in all basic ness she said your body will naturally want to have sex when the time is right ☺️

Answer

Take a vacation. Go do something fun and just relax. Doesn't have to be anywhere fancy just a place where you and your SO can have time to relax and enjoy each others company :)

Answer

I stopped religiously checking to see when I'm ovulating and just started having fun when we felt like it with my fiancé.

Answer

You do need to relax. Worry and stress will not help you to get pregnant any faster but they might harm your chances. Just focus on the good things in your life, on making a comfortable home with loving parents for your future child to be brought into. Your baby will come when the time is right, have faith in Mother Nature, she knows what she's doing. Good luck 💙

Answer

Relax and just let it happen when the time is right!  Stressing about it isn't gonna help at all I can't say i've been there but you shouldn't make you sex life with SO a chore . Sex is the most important thing in a relationship not just to make babies its what brings you closer to your SO . So just relax and let things happen for themselves. Good luck and relax! !

Answer

That's a load of crap haha. We fell pregnant after 5 months and I was stressed from month 1. I was so stressed the month we fell pregnant. Haha I think you fall pregnant when you fall pregnant. Stress or no stress.

Answer

I stopped tracking BBT and just casually kept an eye on CM and ovulation pains. I didn't stress about whether we BDd on the right days -- that was hard! But it worked. Good luck!

Answer

I know people hate to hear that,but you should really stop worrying and obsessing about every symptom,taking a million ovulation test and temping,making sex a chore and all that..relax that's it,it will happen without all that,while its nice to know exactly when you ovulate,but it adds a lot of stress and that's not good. I know many people who have up,stopped all that and voila! BFP. I can talk for me also but i didn't try for long,but the short few cycles I tried,I only got pregnant when I relaxed and drank and ate what I want,and made love to my husband,he was relaxed too when he seen I wasn't obsessing so there was no pressure on him as well.

Answer

I was in the same boat as you and trust me it's so frustrating cause people would tell me that all the time and I would roll my eyes... But what I did was focus on me I wanted to focus on getting some more weight off of me and trying to get abs and when we would have sex around ovulation I would just wouldn't get excited of the possibility of getting pregnant I just kept saying it is what it is and kept focusing on other things, and then finally when I was "stop trying" I got pregnant it was a Huge shock and a beautiful blessing. 
I wish you the very best and sprinkling baby dust your way cause I was in the same boat.
